EARTH OH AXCI-E-WORMS. The common earth or angle-worm infest old gardens and rich soils geuerally, much to the detiimcnt of the appearance of the former v.liere m-at w a.ks and alleys aro always desi rable. Tby usually come to the surface in rains anJ after heavy dews, (hence taking the cauie of dew worm.) bringing with them a portion of the soil, and leaving thnr casts j and trails wherever they move These facts 1 are general noticed, but few have studied '. their uses or sought to know the part they I perform in the econemy of nature. Instead : of being, as is generally supposed detrimeu- : tal to the farmer, tby are laborers with him in the improvement of the soil. A scientific writer on Zxdogy says: "The burrowing of earth-worms is a pro se exceedingly useful to the gardner and agriculturists; and these animals are far more usaful to mm in this way, than they are in jurious by destroying vegetables. They give a kind of under tillage to the land, perfor n;iD" the same Wow the gro...

Foruard tlic Spring Work Vow. Take time by the forelock, ia as good a maxim for farmers as for others; while there are some kinds of labor that can only be per formed at particular scaaoas, there are others that can be done at any time, when the wea ther favors out door operations. The spring iu all northern part af oar country is a very brief season, and upon the farm, it is usually over Growled with work Stack farmers es pecially, leave every thing to this season. The manure is not carted until the ground is settled; the ploughing is put off until May, and the planting until June; the potatoes and oats that flourish best ia Oil weather, are forced to mature in the heat of dogdays and rot, rust and smut, are often the result of the late sowing and planting. Something can be doae even at this season to help on the spring work. The wood house is, or ought to be already filled so that the axe will Dot need to be lifted to prepare full from March to December. A good part of the manure ...

Mr. R- Cochrane called attention to the state of the relations with China, attributing tbe present difficulty to Lord Elgin's demand for a resident Minister t Pekin, which was offensive to the Chinese. He severely de nounced the proceedings of Mr. Bruce and Admiral Hope. The subject after a lengthy discussion was dropped at the request of Lord Palmerston.

2LSL T Tbe Koller for Spring Use. As the season is approaching when the rol ler shosld te. brought into service, permit me to call tke attention of the readers of the Far iuer aad Gardner to its use. The time was, whew, if a farmer possessed one plow and a heavy toethed harrow, he was equipped for caltivatisg the soil; but that time has passed away, aei thorough agriculturist the roller is now almost -as indisperisible as the plow. The Erst use for tbe roller ia the spring of the year is to smooth down the inequalities of tke niowiag ground, and settle the earth ar ound the grrss roots which bare been loosen ed by the frosts. All mowing ground should bo rolled as early as the ground gets settled, so that the cattle can pass over it without sink ing their feet into it The oats ground should be rolled immedi ately afier the harrow or drill. It is quite an advantage to the crop, and greatly facilitates harvesting, particularly if the oats should fall. Another and one of the most import...
